Why would Nelson have had a short leash in 2011 with his 153 RAT?

If Heaps would have stayed around for 2012, he surely would have gotten his chance again. But he chose to go practice for a year and then play like a 12 year old in 2013 with his sub 100 RAT at KU.

I'd cry inside if he made it in the NFL, but I'd be happy for him.

i'd laugh and make sure i watched every game he ever played in

I'd be a huge fan for sure

Not jersey wearing crazy but I'd watch him

SouthernBlueBlood

if he ever started id buy a jersey for sure

Flyingdolphin

5/28/15 3:06pm

I just don't feel comfortable wearing a jersey and a guy's jersey on top of that

if he ever starts NFL game, what college will he name in his little bio intro?

Probably Miami

School of Hard Knocks.

Jake is the ultimate practice team quarterback. He'll never take hits and will

He has one of the best arms I have ever seen. Didn't have Oline or receivers.

cougsrule

5/28/15 2:59pm

Don't lay his failure on the Oline or receivers. That's just wrong.

I watched every game. When Heaps had time he made great plays. His weakness is

Certainly Jake holds a large share of blame, but the OL was an issue...

BengalCougar

Ol was a huge issue.

RalphWiggam

5/28/15 3:13pm

Give Brady our WR and OL and he'd look just like heaps did

Also has happy feet, flinches at sign of contact. He just isn't a good QB in

Good enough to be on an NFL roster. That is pretty good.

He took some pretty hard hits. i would be a little jumpy too. He is a pocket

cougsrule

How many arms have you seen? 7?

When are the Jets going to figure out Heaps is best practice QB ever?

MajorZeus

5/28/15 3:03pm

I saw bengal posted that as well about an hr ago. Cool to see Heaps doing well.

unctoothman

5/28/15 3:05pm

He was the guy for two seasons. Not enough time?

byujacob

5/28/15 3:07pm

he was benched after 2.5 mediocre games. of course riley never had such a short

El Joffrey

5/28/15 3:10pm

Yeah, and then he killed it at KU and the U.

mulletYno

5/28/15 3:12pm

In fairness, no one kills it under Weis. At the U he was behind a better QB.

Heaps RAT: 2010 (116.2), 2011 (111.0) Nelson: 2011: (152.9), 2012 (119.10)

mulletYno

5/28/15 3:19pm

His future performance is completely irrelevant to his leash at byu

El Joffrey

5/28/15 3:28pm

You made a comparison to Riley Nelson. At no point during Heaps' 4 years

if Nelson wouldve had the same leash as heaps (2.5 bad games) he would've been

Why would Nelson have had a short leash in 2011 with his 153 RAT?

mulletYno

5/28/15 4:03pm

are you claiming Nelson never had 2 bad games in a row as starter?

none of that answered the question.

El Joffrey

I was only talking about 2011.

Splitting time doesn't make you the guy. Neither does not having your head coach

Not surprising. Would love to see him make the team.

'Canes in the NFL! (well, one step closer for Jake)

Good to see the QB factory continue : Beck, Hall, Heaps, and soon to follow Hill

Baron

5/28/15 3:31pm

He wasn't a RB; more like FS

rggee

5/28/15 3:33pm

His arms were really short. I woulda preferred him at RB, or in the slot.

Jest, right? Or dreamworld rebooted?

I'm afraid his dream is about to end, they won't cut any of those three in front

I said the same thing about Max Hall not too far back.

True, but he is the only one of the four they would consider for the...

BengalCougar

That is rather shocking. Certainly hope him the best.

Have you seen Geno play? He has been horrible. Not saying
